"Anna's Encounters" by Chantal Akerman (1978) - Film franz. OmenU! and lecture on loneliness and desire
as part of the series "Psychoanalysis & Art" with Gilbert Beronneau (Berlin)
A counterpart to Akerman's great film (and success) "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelle" from 1976: Jeanne (Delphine Seyrig), who can't get out of her neighbourhood in Brussels, against Anna (Aurore Clément), the filmmaker, who is presenting her new film in Germany and experiences the oppressively lonely nights of this country (and meets Helmut Griem and Hanns Zischler). Communication that comes to nothing, painful forlornness: "Anna, where are you?" Even Brussels, where the mother (Anna and Akerman) lives, is only a stopover. (Fritz Göttler)
